Jackie Robinson Middle School is part of the
New Haven
Public School District in New Haven, Connecticut. While it
is located in the proximity of
Fair Haven Neighborhood
Schools, New Haven Public Schools is a separate school
district. When Integrated Systems & Services was contacted
to provide a Media Retrieval solution at Jackie Robinson,
they immediately looked to Phoenix, which is also installed
at two schools within the neighboring Fair Haven
Collaborative. Much like the installations at Fair Haven
Neighborhood Schools and Silas Deane Middle School, the
installation at Jackie Robinson is on a smaller scale with
only a Head End and the Phoenix Server PC. Absent are the
Television Managers that are placed within the rooms at most
schools. Instead, the end-users manually tune their display
devices and control of the Head End sources is accomplished
with the Phoenix32 web client. This is a perfect solution
for smaller school districts that need an inexpensive and
reliable solution for media management. While Phoenix can
drive hundreds (or thousands) of plasma displays,
projectors, and televisions, it can also be utilized in less
demanding environments. Also, installation of Phoenix builds
a foundation upon which the district can grow with virtually
unlimited expandability as the needs of the faculty and
students continue to grow.
Realm Control Corp. again extends thanks to George Manolakis of
Integrated Systems & Services for choosing Phoenix as the
media management solution at Jackie Robinson Middle School.
